A while back I discovered a cool show for all things Beatle related. The longest running Beatles related radio show that's going today. It started back in 1999. It's broadcast over many British radio stations and even the BBC. I was fortunate enough to have my song "Mr. Wilson" played on the show this past week. My song was a continuation of the "Tax Man" song by the Beatles. An original song about the continuing adventures of our favorite 'tax man'. Host Pete Dicks was kind enough to feature my song during his show and give me a "shout out" in the process. Thanks Pete! Unless you're near the radio stations in the UK that are playing the show, you can only listen to the archived shows online, and the bit rate is not that high unfortunately. But if you'd like to check it out, you can go hear the archived shows online by clicking the logo above. Ok, so I'm probably the only one excited that I'm being heard in the UK on radio but just indulge me for a moment! The program with my song on it is the 9/12/10 show, and it comes 86 minutes 25 seconds into the show. Enjoy! It's a great show for interviews and music all related to the Beatles!
Show Bio From Their Web Site:
BeatlesandBeyond was first played on WITCHFM in Crewe, Cheshire, England in November 1999
The remit of BeatlesandBeyond is to inform, entertain and educate the listener about the amazing effect that 4 guys from Liverpool had on the World
But the content of the show is NOT just The Beatles....
'Beyond' includes the solo works of John, Paul, George and Ringo; 'cover versions' of their songs; Apple, Dark Horse and Ringo'Records label records; tribute bands; exclusive interviews and much much more!
BeatlesandBeyond is UNIQUE!
Since its first broadcast in 1999, BeatlesandBeyond has been played on numerous British Radio Stations, and was played by the BBC in the Midlands
Known to Apple Corps and many Beatles friends and associates, BeatlesandBeyond is the longest running Beatles themed Radio Show in the UK - possibly in Europe - and is the ONLY Radio show recommended by Liverpool's 'Beatles Story Experience'
Before they released their first album, this radio show is a quite interesting testament to their energy on stage. Featuring a couple of songs that were never officially recorded (to my knowledge) plus a very early rendition of "what I Like About You" with some different lyrics and what sounded like an unsure Jimmy Marinos trying to find the right melody.
